In Brief: On this site you will find pictures and technical information about Service Modes, Circuit Diagrams, Firmware Update procedure, Disassemble procedure, Universal remote control set-up codes, Troubleshooting and more....

If you go into the profession, you will obtain or have access to a variety of tech tips databases HERE IT IS Master Electronics Repair !.

These are an excellent investment where the saying: 'time-is-money' rules. However, to learn, you need to develop a general troubleshooting approach - a logical, methodical, method of narrowing down the problem. A tech tip database might suggest: 'Replace C536' for a particular symptom. This is good advice for a specific problem on one model. However, what you really want to understand is why C536 was the cause and how to pinpoint the culprit in general even if you don't have a service manual or schematic and your tech tip database doesn't have an entry for your sick TV or VCR.

While schematics are nice, you won't always have them or be able to justify the purchase for a one-of repair. Therefore, in many cases, some reverse engineering will be necessary. The time will be well spent since even if you don't see another instance of the same model in your entire lifetime, you will have learned something in the process that can be applied to other equipment problems.
As always, when you get stuck, checking out a tech-tips database may quickly identify your problem and solution.In that case, you can greatly simplify your troubleshooting or at least confirm a diagnosis before ordering parts.

Happy repairing!

THOMSON T24C99H
General recommendations for TV LCD repair
Possible malfunctions
- The THOMSON T24C99H TV does not turn on, does not respond to the remote control and control panel buttons, the indicators do not light up or flash.
Most likely, in this case, the main switching power supply (SMPS) MLT019L-CJ is faulty. In the absence of the necessary supply voltages in the secondary circuits of the converters, it is necessary to check the power switches (K6A60D) and rectifier diodes for possible partial or complete breakdown.
In case of breakdowns of semiconductors in the secondary circuits, the converter can usually work in an emergency in the short-circuit mode, and with a short circuit in the power elements of the primary circuit, the mains fuse often breaks.
Mos-Fet power switches used in switching power supplies sometimes fail due to a malfunction of any other elements that can disable it in the key mode, or create an excess of the maximum permissible key parameters. These can be elements supplying a PWM regulator, frequency setting or damper circuits, or elements of negative feedback in the stabilization circuit. PWM controllers AZ7500EP-E1 (16), KB5150, in the absence of visible damage or outright short circuits between the terminals, are checked by replacing them with new ones, or knowingly working properly.
- There is no image, there is sound, it reacts to the remote control. Or, immediately after switching on for a second, the image may appear and immediately disappear.
The defect can be caused by problems in the nodes or elements of the display backlight, or in the power supply of the lamps or the inverter.
Sometimes, for diagnostic purposes, it is necessary to disable the inverter protection. In such cases, special care must be taken during work, and the protective circuits must be restored immediately after the repair is completed.
- The TV does not turn on, the indicator signals the standby or operating mode, or blinks.
Repair or diagnostics of the CVMV26L-A-20 motherboard should begin with checking the stabilizers and power converters necessary to power the microcircuits and matrix. If necessary, you should update or replace the software (software). In cases of complex MB (SSB) repairs and with the necessary skills and equipment, it may sometimes be necessary to replace its TSUMV26KE-LF, YD1517P, K24C32, CVMV26L-A chips and other possible faulty components. Malfunctions associated with the use of BGA soldering technologies are usually easily diagnosed by the warm-up method.
If you suspect a malfunction of the F21WT-3BAR-E tuner, first of all, you need to make sure that the software is correct, as well as the presence of the necessary levels of supply voltages and pulses of data exchange with the processor via the I2C bus on the corresponding terminals of the tuner.

The lack of an image in the presence of a signal from the THOMSON T24C99H is often caused by a malfunction of the display backlight. Moreover, the problem can be both inside the LCD panel (matrix) M236H1-L01 Rev.C2, for example, a malfunction of CCFL (EEFL) lamps, and outside in their power source - an inverter.
Without backlighting, sometimes you can see a barely noticeable image with a certain successful hit of external light on the screen.
Often, to repair the backlight, disassembling the LCD panel M236H1-L01 is required - a painstaking process that requires increased attention and accuracy from the master. In such cases, there is a possibility, with the slightest negligence, to damage the glass or loops and the TV may become unrepairable.
We strongly do not recommend doing such work to owners of TVs and craftsmen who do not have experience in repairing LCD panels! Moreover, at home (at the owner's home).
If there is no image in the presence of backlight, the screen becomes slightly lighter when turned on, and if the TV is open, the light from the lamps can be seen through the holes in the panel case.
In this case, there may be a malfunction inside the panel, damage to strips, loops, the T-CON board (Timing Controller) may be defective. But often the main board MainBoard CVMV26L-A-20 turns out to be faulty, a software failure is also possible.
In such cases, the master first of all needs to check the main supply voltage of the panel at the LVDS connector, the fuses on the T-CON board or the panel brackets, as well as the supply and reference voltages for line and column drivers - VGH, VGL, Vcom.
If all of the above measurements are within the normal range, then the oscilloscope should track the passage of LVDS signals from the MainBoard CVMV26L-A-20, as well as synchronizing signals from T-CON to loops with drivers.
Remember! Attempts to self-repair the THOMSON T24C99H TV, in the absence of the necessary qualifications and experience, are categorically not recommended and are fraught with negative consequences, up to the complete non-repairability of the device!
Additional MainBoard Repair
The appearance of the MainBoard CVMV26L-A-20 is shown in the figure below:
CVMV26L-A-20
The CVMV26L-A-20 motherboard uses a TSUMV26KE-LF (TSUMV36KE-LF) processor, combined with a scaler, SPI FLASH 520Kb and EEPROM 24C02C.
It is advisable to start repairing the MainBoard with checking the voltage converters and linear stabilizers, which are necessary to provide power in operating and standby modes. Check the power supply of the LCD panel 5V or 12V, depending on the type of panel used, it is necessary to measure directly at the LVDS connector. If, with the necessary supply voltages, the TV does not come out of Stand-by mode, does not respond to the remote control and control buttons, you should update the SPI Flash software.
CVMV26L-A-20 can be used in TVs:
SUPRA STV-LC1926WD (Panel M185XW01 V0), SUPRA STV-LC1922WD (Panel MT185GW01 V.0), SUPRA STV-LC2222WD (Panel CLAA215FA), SUPRA STV-LC2622WD (Panel MT215DW01), SUPRA STV-LC1626WD (Panel 720p HD 1600x900), SUPRA STV-LC2417F STV-LC2417FD (Panel M236H1-P01), SUPRA STV-LC1515WD (Panel 720p HD 1366x768), SUPRA STV-LC2422W (Panel M236M1-L01), SUPRA STV-LC2422WD (Panel Panel), THOMSON T24C99H CVMV26L-A (Panel M236H1-L01 Rev.C2).


The main features of the THOMSON T24C99H device:
Installed matrix (LCD-panel) M236H1-L01 Rev. C2.
Matrix control uses Timing Controller (T-CON) LM215WF4-TLE7.
To power the backlight lamps, the MLT019L-CJ inverter is used, controlled by the AZ7500EP-E1 PWM controller (16).
The formation of the necessary supply voltages for all nodes of the THOMSON T24C99H TV is carried out by the MLT019L-CJ power module, or its analogs using the AZ7500EP-E1 (16), KB5150 microcircuits and power switches of the K6A60D type.
MainBoard - the main board (motherboard) is a CVMV26L-A-20 module, using chips TSUMV26KE-LF, YD1517P, K24C32, CVMV26L-A and others.
The F21WT-3BAR-E tuner provides reception of television programs and tuning to channels.
